Story summary

A study on Acute Acquired Comitant Esotropia (AACE) reports a short-term 90.7% and long-term 82.2% success after bilateral medial rectus recession, based on 118 cases.
Younger patients had a higher risk of surgical failure.
Preoperative esotropia was measured with the base-out breakpoint method, convenient but less accurate than the prism adaptation test.
Adjusting surgical dosages for higher preoperative esotropia is advised.
Future studies must refine measurement techniques and surgical approaches.
